Interventions

  • Passive Education — BEHAVIORAL
    Education: QR codes will be posted at each barber's station within a barber shop, as well as on other study materials located within the shop. The QR code recruitment mechanism will encourage potential participants to complete a Prostate Cancer Knowledge and Risk Assessment questionnaire (ie. Screener) which acts as a screener for study eligibility. The screener can be completed by scanning the QR code with a cell phone while in the barbershop. Barbers will encourage their clients to complete the Screener.
  • Education by Community Navigator — BEHAVIORAL
    A community navigator will be onsite to assist in information delivery, navigation to resources, and encourage the completion of the Screener through the QR code. Participants can opt to connect with the community navigator if they have questions, need assistance in scheduling a PSA screening, or if they have other resource needs. The community navigator will help participants connect with a primary care provider to continue with all preventive healthcare recommendations.
  • Education at Community Outreach Screening Event — BEHAVIORAL
    The Community Navigator will set up PSA screening events at specific barber shops for participants who wish to move forward with screenings.

Arms

  • Experimental: Education and Passive Navigation
    This arm receives barber-led education and access to a resource website. Barbers will encourage clients to access the screening website. Other study materials will also be located within the shop. The resource website will be accessible via QR code that will encourage potential participants to complete a Prostate Cancer Knowledge and Risk Assessment questionnaire.
  • Experimental: Education and Active Navigation
    This arm includes all interventions of the first arm plus the addition of a community navigator. The community navigator will be onsite to assist in information delivery and navigation to resources and encourage the completion of the Screener through the QR code. The community navigator will help participants connect with a primary care provider to continue with all preventive healthcare recommendations.
  • Experimental: Education and Active Navigation with Community Based Outreach
    This arm adds the community navigator and a community outreach screening event. Case Comprehensive Cancer Center Community Outreach and Engagement will offer barber shops an onsite PSA screening event.
